Blog
The Talk ED blog is a space to help turn knowledge and real experiences into positive change, as well as sharing a range of perspectives on the issues facing those affected by eating disorders.
We review all blogs and stories submitted to us to ensure they don’t contain potentially triggering content. However, as these are personal reflections of experiences with eating disorders – and sometimes other mental health issues – posts may contain themes, topics, and descriptions that you may find difficult or upsetting to read. Please do put your own wellbeing first and if you are feeling vulnerable, scroll past, return another day, or access our support services.
